Our PGCE (Further Education and Skills Sector) is a Level 7 nationally recognised qualification for teachers, trainers and tutors in the further education and skills sector which includes colleges, training providers and sixth forms.

Teaching is a rewarding profession where you’ll use your enthusiasm and talents to really make a difference to people’s lives.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) qualification will equip you to teach in the post-14 further education and skill sector, which includes:

• Colleges
• Sixth forms
• Adult and community learning
• The NHS
• Offender learning
• The Police service
• Private sector training organisations.
• Alternative provision in pupil referral units (PRU)

Throughout the course you’ll learn about teaching and learning strategies, with a focus on developing your practical and academic skills through reflective practice. An essential part of the programme is your teaching placement. You will work closely with your subject specialist mentor and your course tutor. They will observe you teaching and help you to develop your practice and skills.
